About Joyce

Cooking, gardening, and arts and crafts are the ways I recharge, and they also influence how I approach nutrition work. With two years as a Registered Dietitian and a master's in nutrition, I blend the curiosity of research with the practicality of private practice. My training as an RDN and credentialing as a CDN help me translate evidence into realistic plans. When we work together, you’ll get a grounded, approachable guide who loves good food and slow, sustainable change.

Approach to care

I center care on real life and real science. Training in research and clinical practice keeps my recommendations evidence-based, while my style is warm, nonjudgmental, and educational. We'll set clear, actionable steps that fit your routines, focusing on behaviors rather than weight. I use a weight-neutral lens to support health at every size, and I aim to teach you the why behind recommendations so you can sustain progress long term, together and without pressure.

Your first session with Joyce

Expect a relaxed, collaborative visit where we review your medical history, look over any lab work or biometrics you have, and talk through what matters most to you right now. We’ll establish a couple of short-term, achievable goals together, so you leave with a clear next step rather than a long list of rules. No need to have everything figured out, just bring your questions and we’ll build a practical plan at your pace.
